Chase Terrace and Boney Hay War Memorial

The Chase Terrace and Boney Hay war memorial is situated outside St John’s Church on the High Street in Chase Terrace. This memorial features a Carrara marble obelisk that is square in shape, rising from the cornice of a two-tiered rectangular plinth. The second tier of the plinth includes buttresses at each corner and stands on a single marble step, all resting on a base made of Robin Hood stone. The inscriptions on the plinth are made with flush lead letters.

On the front face of the plinth, there is a dedicatory inscription on a raised tablet that reads, “THEIR NAMES LIVE FOR EVERMORE” followed by the names of the individuals commemorated. It continues, “THIS MEMORIAL WAS ERECTED BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION TO THE MEMORY OF THE ABOVE MEN OF CHASE TERRACE AND BONEY HAY WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914 – 1918.” Below this, a name has been added later, along with the years 1914 – 1918. One side of the upper tier of the plinth is inscribed with 1939 – 1945 followed by names, commemorating those who fell in the Second World War.
